About Premier Inn Durham City Centre
The Premier Inn Durham City Centre sits at Walkergate, part of the riverside leisure and dining quarter right in the middle of the city, within a few minutes' walk of the Market Place, the bus station and the cathedral. It offers the chain's familiar comfortable, no-frills rooms at budget-friendly rates, with a restaurant on site and plenty of bars and eateries on the doorstep, which makes it a dependable, good-value base for a city break.
The central location is the big advantage, letting visitors leave the car and explore the compact old city on foot. As a popular, well-priced central hotel, it fills up fast around graduation, big events and peak weekends, so booking ahead secures the best rates.
